Currently, almost all major economies across the world are experiencing Demand Shock, which has put the global supply chain ecosystem under a lot of distress. A significant percentage of MSMEs are experiencing a large part of their working capital locked into inventory, and the prevalent lockdown phase is raising questions about their survival because of Manufacturing Downtime for the last 2 months. The sales and distribution function is running at 20%-30% of its capacity and has significantly impacted the supply of Daily Essentials. In Feb’2020, approx. $50bn worth of global exports was wiped off due to COVID-19 and the countries whose value chains are linked to the epicenters of the disease experienced a major setback as China, for example, controls over 70% of the global raw material market. The transportation and logistics sectors that contribute over 10%-12 % of global GDP are running at their lowest capacity and have brought the crude oil prices down.
